(who also directed the Italian version of In Treatment for television) will adapt the four books in the saga by the mysterious Italian actress (despite a few leaks, we still don’t know her true identity), who is well-loved even across the pond, for the small screen: “My Brilliant Friend”, “The Story of a New Name”, “Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay” and “The Story of the Lost Child”, all of which have been published and sold in over 1 million copies in Italy, and 1.2 million in the United States and Canada.

The series, which will be produced by Fandango and Wildside with foreign partners and Rai Fiction, will tell the story, across 4 seasons made up of 8 episodes each (32 episodes in all, each with a duration of 50 minutes) of two friends, Lila and Lenù, from their childhood up to their golden years, from the post-war period to the 2000s.

Meanwhile, over the last few days we’ve started holding casting sessions, led by Laura Muccino, for the two young actresses in primary schools across Naples.
